I do, and the point I would make, first of all, is that the legislation in most other countries is very simple. It's not complex, as I think Alex mentioned. We're not looking at page after page of detailed procedures of what we do and what we don't do.
It basically just enshrines a universal, equal responsibility to protect. Typically the legislation in the countries with which I am familiar will say something like, it shall be the responsibility of this nation to protect and assist its nationals abroad, subject to regulations created under such-and-such an act. In other words, there's an attempt to balance this fundamental bedrock principle with the recognition that there has to be ministerial discretion in how you go about acting in individual cases.
You do not want to tie the hands of your government by making the good the enemy of the best. There has to be some degree of latitude, but at the same time there needs to be a clear and simple statement in law to which whoever is assessing these cases can then go back and refer. Whether that is the courts or an ombudsperson of some kind, or a parliamentary committee, those are mechanisms that this committee and the House of Commons, more largely, should be able to address and come up with some mechanism that they think is appropriate for the Canadian situation.
I will say that most of the legislation I've seen is no more than a sentence or two long.
